Your question is wrong , generic name of dog is Canis while specific name is familiaris.
Canis lupus familiaris, I think, recently changed from Canis familiaris to acknowledge that dogs are actually the same species as wolves--meaning in this case that they are completely interfertile with wolves.
Binomial nomenclature is a system of giving distinct and proper names to organisms with each name consisting of two words, generic and specific . Also known as scientific names. Example scientific name of human is Homo sapiens , scientific name of frog is Rana tigrina etc .

According to the University of Michigan's Animal Diversity Web, the binomial nomenclature used for the classification of the domestic dog is Canis lupus familiaris.
Your typical domesticated dog is known as Canis familiaris.

Your typical domesticated dog is known as Canis Lupus Familiaris.Make sure it is written as Canis (italicized and capital letter, if typed, if handwritten then its underlined and capital letter) familiaris (italics and a lowercase letter, if typed, if handwritten then its underlined and a lowercase letter). That way it's in binomial nomenclature.
This process is called Binomial nomenclature. This states that organism all have two names. The Genus and the species. For example, the scientific name for dogs are Canis Familiarus. The process of grouping organisms and classifying them is known as Taxonomy.
Scientists use scientific names (binomial nomenclature) to avoid confusion caused by different common names for the same species. For example, the scientific name for the domestic dog is Canis lupus familiaris, which clearly indicates its relationship to the wolf (Canis lupus) and distinguishes it from other species with similar common names.
The system that gives each organism two names is called binomial nomenclature, developed by Carl Linnaeus. Each organism is given a genus name and a species name, providing a unique two-part scientific name for every species.
